Series Editor’s ForewordRobert T. CraigAlthough the origins of academic research on journalism can be traced to mid-nineteenth centuryEurope and work on this topic developed in several disciplines through the twentieth century,especially in U.S. schools of Journalism and Mass Communication during the century’s last several decades, in the perspective of the present moment journalism seems to have emerged rathersuddenly on the international scene of communication research as a vibrant new interdisciplinaryfield. The Journalism Studies interest group of the International Communication Association,formed as recently as 2004 with 50 initial members, at this writing is one of the largest, fastestgrowing. and most broadly international ICA divisions with over 500 members as of mid-2008.The Handbook of Journalism Studies, edited by Karin Wahl-Jorgensen and Thomas Hanitzsch, isthus a timely contribution that provides a benchmark assessment and sets the agenda for futureresearch in this burgeoning area.The editors’ introduction notes other signs of growth including several new journals andmajor books on Journalism Studies published in recent years. It must be acknowledged that muchof what is here called Journalism Studies continues lines of research that have gone on for manyyears under the rubric of Mass Communication, but the shift to Journalism Studies representsmore than just a new label for old work or the familiar process of a maturing sub-specialty spinning off from an overpopulated division. Rather, it marks a significant shift of focus away fromthe functionalist tradition in which journalism has been studied primarily with regard to abstractfunctions of the mass communication process like gatekeeping and agenda setting. While theseand other similar lines of empirical research, as represented by excellent chapters in this volume,continue to flourish and hold an important place, the frame shift from Mass Communicationto Journalism Studies inverts figure and ground. As the central focus shifts away from abstractfunctions of mass communication and toward journalism as, in the editors’ words, “one of themost important social, cultural and political institutions,” then the normative, historical, cultural,sociological, and political aspects of journalism that were formerly overshadowed emerge as primary concerns and redefine the intellectual context in which empirical studies are conducted.The editors and authors contributing to this volume hail from 11 countries around the worldand include leading scholars representing a range of disciplines. Thirty chapters review bodiesof literature on diverse aspects of Journalism Studies as an academic field, practices of newsproduction, analyses of news content, the complex relations of journalism to society, and theglobal context of journalism research. Internationalizing the field and developing a global perspective on journalism institutions, extending research in traditionally marginalized institutionsand practices, and connecting scholarship with journalism education and professional practiceare appropriately emphasized by the editors as goals for the future.ix

THE ICA HANDBOOK SERIESThe ICA Handbook series is a joint venture between the International Communication Association and Routledge. It will be a series of scholarly handbooks that represent the interests of ICAmembers and help to further the Association’s goals of promoting theory and research across thediscipline. These handbooks will provide benchmark assessments of current scholarship and setthe agenda for future work. The series will include handbooks that focus on content areas, methodological approaches, and theoretical lenses for communication research.We seek proposals from prospective editors of handbooks. We especially seek proposals thatcross the boundaries of established disciplines and fields to address timely problems of international scope, not just representing different specialties but bringing them together collaborativelyto address intersecting interests and research problems of broad interest. For example, such problems might be formulated as topical concerns (e.g., globalization, virtual environments), theoretical approaches (e.g., social cognition, critical studies), or matters pertaining to communicationor communication research in general (e.g., methodological innovations, communication theoryacross cultures).For more information about this series, contact:Robert T.

PrefaceThe book that you now have before you is a product of the conviction that we should care aboutjournalism and its study. We should care about journalism because it’s central to democracy,citizenship, and everyday life, and we should care about journalism studies because it helpsus understand this key social institution. We are not alone in holding this conviction: Journalism studies is one of the fastest growing areas within the larger discipline of communicationresearch and media studies. As indicated by a serious, though not altogether coherent body ofacademic literature and ongoing scholarly work, the study of journalism has matured to becomean academic field of its own right. We felt that the arrival of journalism studies ought to be bothcelebrated and solidified, and to honor this ambition, The Handbook of Journalism Studies wasconceived as a gathering place for the varied lasting and emerging preoccupations of scholars inthe field. This handbook therefore bears witness to the rapid and exciting developments withinthis important area of research, as well as its complexity, richness and promise in terms of theoryand research. We hope the book can boost the intellectual foundations of journalism studies,providing the reader with an overview of journalism as a dynamic field of study across its diverseepistemological, theoretical and methodological traditions.The Handbook of Journalism Studies sets out to comprehensively chart the field and definethe agenda for future research in an international context. It is our hope that the handbook, whentaken as a whole, provides a sense of journalism research on a global scale, covering not justthe dominant Anglo-American traditions but also looking beyond this context, to Africa, LatinAmerica, continental Europe, and Asia. Although we have sought to make journalism studies abroad church in including 30 different chapters, each covering an impressive breadth of subjectmatter, we do not claim to survey every key area and tradition of scholarship in journalism studies. We had to make tough choices about what we were able to include and, regrettably, what toleave out. Needless to say, it would be impossible to do complete justice to a rich, dynamic andever-emerging field of research in only one volume, however bulky, and we are reassured thatjournalism studies continues to be a productive scholarly community where the debates that echoin this book and those we have been unable to reflect continue with unabated fervor. What wedo hope is that The Handbook of Journalism Studies will be a useful compendium resource foranyone trying to get a sense of an academic field of inquiry and its past, present and future. Weintend for the book to provide the starting point for further discussion and debate among scholarsand students in communication and journalism studies.The book is structured around a critical engagement with key theoretical and empirical traditions, fields of inquiry and scholarly debates in journalism studies, laid out by the foremostexperts in each area. Beginning with four introductory chapters which outline more general issues in the field, the organization of the book reflects the aim of covering the broad contours ofjournalism studies. The volume contains four thematic sections, covering scholarship on newsproduction and organizations, news content, journalism and society, and journalism in a globalcontext. Within these sections, each chapter provides a systematic and accessible overview of thexi
